Lenz's Law, Eddy Currents & Induced Electric Field

A bar magnet is passing through a conducting loop of radius R with velocity vv. The radius of the bar magnet is such that it just passes through the loop. The induced e.m.f. in the loop can be represented by the approximate curve:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. As the N end approaches and passes the loop, flux increases quickly, giving a sharp emf pulse.
  2. As the S end leaves, the flux decreases, giving a pulse of the opposite sign.
  3. While the uniform middle part passes, flux hardly changes, so emf is nearly zero; the pulses are l/vl/v apart.
  4. So the curve has two opposite pulses separated by l/vl/v; with the chosen sign convention this is (c).
